Flavor Profile Differences
Rye spice is the dividing line here.
- W.L. Weller Antique 107: The proof point where the Weller wheated recipe stops being polite. Thick toffee and cherry with real warmth behind it, and enough body to stand up to an ice cube without collapsing.
- Four Roses Small Batch: Four Roses' yeast strains push this toward fruit and florals rather than wood. Red berry and cinnamon over a light body, with the rye showing up as brightness instead of bite.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with W.L. Weller Antique 107 if you want the sweetness of a wheater with the weight and warmth that only higher proof delivers.
- Go with Four Roses Small Batch if you want a fruit-and-floral profile that stands apart from the usual caramel-and-oak template at a significantly lower price point.
